Family celebrations seem to be this place's speciality — tables of eight for a birthday, groups squeezed in without a booking, and staff who'll happily shift a table so a pram or high chair fits. Buggy access is fine and there are high chairs, a kids' menu and vegan dishes, plus free parking, which takes the sting out of a Cardiff trip. Order the special mezze to share and let everyone pick: the kibbeh gets particular praise, the grilled meats come out cooked properly, and food arrives hot and fast enough that nobody's waiting long. Three small plates each is about right. Gluten-free needs were handled without fuss. Worth knowing: it fills up, so book if you can, and a service charge lands on the bill. One parent simply says "go if you can".
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Easy-going Cathays pub with kids' menu, high chairs and free parking — great pies and loaded fries, quieter at lunchtime.
